RADIATOR-S u P 0 RT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 727,969, dated May 12, 1903. Application filed November 21, 1900. Serial No. 37,201. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOSFORD D. KELLoGe, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Radiator-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of an improved con struction of radiator-support which is provided with an adjustable leg, whereby the radiator-section can be placed in position more quickly than heretofore and any inaccuracies in fitting easily adjusted.

It further consists in provision of novel 5 means whereby the leg is not liable to be displaced or broken by expansion, and provision is made for supporting the leg on a wall at any point above the floor, or, if desired, the legs can rest directly upon the floor.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a radiator-support embodying my invention, the adjustable supporting-bracket and the bolt for the upper radiator-section being removed. Fig. 2 represents a section on line w 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of a portion of the radiator support, showing the adjustable bracket therein. Fig. 4: represents a section on line y y, Fig. 5. Fig. 5 represents a side elevation of the supporting-bracket in detached position. Fig. 6 represents a section of the body portion only on line z a, Fig. 1. Fig. 7 represents a section on line :0 on, Fig. 1. 7 Fig.8 represents a front elevation of a pair of radiator-supports, showing the manner in which the radiator-sections are supported thereupon, the upper fastening device not being shown.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a radiator-support, the same consisting of the body portion or back B, which has the projecting wallsO, which are in the present instance curved substantially as seen in Fig. 6, whereby the way D is formed in'which is adjustablylocated the body portion E of the adjustable bracket F, which is provided with the arm G, which projects through the slot H of the support 0, it being understood that the adjustable bracket is provided with the portion J, which also projects through the slot H, as will be understood from Fig. 3, it besired position.

provided with feet at its lower portion, as injing further apparent that 'the contour of the body portion E of the bracket F is substantially the same as the way D, so that the adjust-able bracket fits nicely in position, but is capable of being readily adjusted. The way 0 terminates at the point K, above which the back B extends, as indicated at L, the shape thereof in cross-section being understood from Figs. 1, 2, and 7. The arm G is provided with a recess M, which is adapted to receive the lower radiator-sections N, as indicated in Fig. 8, while the upper set of radiator-sections, as P, are supported by means of bolts Q, (only one of which is seen in Fig. 2,) which pass throughthe bracket R, which has the slot S therein, said bracket being adbeen placed in the desired position the same is held in position by means of suitable fastenin g devices, which have the bolts V. (Seen in Fig. 5.)

It will be seen from the foregoing that I provide a simple and effective appliance which will permit the radiator-sections to be raised to any desired height and provide for errors in measurement or any change in pipes, it being further evident that any inaccuracies in fitting can be easily adjusted, and" by the employment of theadjustable support the radiator can be quickly placed in the de- The leg or support A can be dicated in Figs. 1, 2, and 8, or, if desired, the leg can be cast Without a foot and placed on the Wall at any point above the floor and fastened to the wall by screws or expansion belts or spikes.

Having thus described'my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A radiator-support consisting of a leg having longitudinally extendingcurved walls forming a way therein, said curved walls being longitudinally slotted, an adjustable support having a curved body portion fitting in said way and a lateral projecting arm adapted to support a radiator-section and projecting through said slot, adjustable fastening justably held in position by the plates T and ICO devices common to and passed through said arm and leg, and an upper adjustable support mounted on an extension of said leg above the Way.

2. In a radiator-support, a leg with longitudinal Way open at its upper end, and a portion extended above said open end, an arm adjustable in said way, a bracket adjustable on the extended portion and having transverse slot, a bolt adjustable in said slot, and plates and means adjustably holding said bracket in position.

3. In a radiator-support, a leg with longitudinal wayhaving longitudinal slot and open upperend and a portion extended above said open end and out of the plane of said Way, an arm adjustable in said Way and having a portion extending through said slot, a bracket adjustable on the extended portion and having transverse slot, a bolt adjustable in said slot and plates and bolts adjustably holding said per support adjustably mounted on the extended portion of the leg and provided with means for adjustably holding it in position and with means for adjustably securing the upper set of radiator-sections.
